    Why we hate them?

    All praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon his messenger.

     

    I have written these words in an answer to a question that was sent by a Christian to the pulpit of tawhed and jihad (to the English section). There is a lot I wanted to mention about this subject but there is no benefit in writing a long response to those people.

     

    But its more fitting to write something in the middle and summed up, so I was contend with what would suit the situation and to mention a part of the answer to the question that was asked “why we hate them”, and if the questioner wasn’t stubborn in his conditions and would open for us the opportunity to attach to the answer to the crimes that is committed by the hands of the jews and the Crusaders in our time in different Muslim countries the answer would have been double what it is.

     

    I ask Allah to guide the questioner and his likes to the straight path.

     

    And to assist us in what we say and write and to accept it from us, and He is the All hearing.

     

    Abu Muhammad al-Maqdesi

     

    ***

     

    The questioner says:

     

    What makes you think that the attacks on 9/11 has justifications? Doesn’t the Quran teach you to protect the peace and to love people? Where is the borderline between interpretating the quran with sincerity and going too far? And where do you put the line between the system of the Islamic law and the system of concepts? I think that the quran is being used as a justification for extreme beliefs more than it being a system of Islamic law. Don’t you agree with me that the Muslim extremists are brainwashing the minds of their brothers in creed with their propaganda campaigns? I don’t understand why this religion is holding this amount of hatred? And I can’t understand how any prophet of any religion would incite the killing of anyone regardless of their race, religion or creed? And your going to answer that the Zionists killed this and that, and that the Jews did this and that, but the truth is that we live in a world different then that. We live in the world of 2010. You can’t put the blame on the innocent civilians for things they have no control over. Those leaders don’t necessarily speak on the behalf of the great majority of people. So please explain to us your point of view, as each time I speak to the Muslims about the extremists they set it out as something that doesn’t have anything to do with you, and I want to understand the justifications to all this hatred, and thank you.

     

    The answer:

     

    All praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon His messenger.

     

    The questioner wants to know the justifications behind this hatred that he mentioned.

    And he holds the Muslims the responsibility for the hatred and the killing of civilians and at the same time, he doesn’t want us to talk about actions and the crimes and hatred of the Jews and the Zionists that drive the contempt of all human races except the Jews!

     

    The command, restriction and stipulations (in the answer he wants) is odd and illogical.

     

    But regardless of that we are going to accept that and adhere to his stipulations, and we won’t mention what the jews, Zionists and Crusaders are doing from killings, crimes and destruction in our time.

     

    And we will firstly remind the questioner about some of his roots that he is ignorant of in some matters regarding hatred and killings and the likes that he emerged to us in the garments of preachers! And we will seal it with the reason to our hatred for the Jews and Christians and their religion.

     

    We will begin by what was mentioned in their holy book (the Old Testament) in the Deuteronomy (18/10/20) and there’s a summary of their laws regarding war, and it was in the following order:

     

    Number 1: During wars according to their laws it begins with dawah (calling) to reconciliation, and if they respond to it everyone is to be enslaved. 

     

    Number 2: If they don’t reconcile and you overpower them, you kill all the men and enslave the women and children and animals that is in distant cities.

     

    Number 3: but for the Canaanites and the Jebusites and the Amorites and the Hittites etc, (and they mentioned others that they described as public cities that the lord will give you a part of) you don’t preserve it but you forbid it completely (16-18/20) and the meaning of you forbid it is to destroy it completely.

     

    If the questioner is unaware that this is mentioned in the holiest books of his religion, then it is not appropriate for him to come and give us lessons and lectures about hatred, but he should go back to his holy book and he should contemplate on that before throwing rocks at people.

     

    And he should also look in the book of Joshua (28-40/10) where it’s mentioned: (then Joshua hit the ground of the mountain and the south and the flat ground and the versants and all their kings and he didn’t say roaming but he forbade every breath as he was ordered from the lord of Israel.

     

    Ponder on: as he was ordered by the lord of Israel.

     

    And in the issue: (1-20/31) it is mentioned in it that after the victory of the children of Israel over Median, they killed all the males and enslaved the females of median and their children and burnt all their houses and cities. And they claimed that they were ordered by Moses (17/31) and to kill all the male children from the slaves and all the women that had known a man by intercourse.

     

    So where is the saying of the questioner: (And I can’t understand how any prophet of any religion would incite the killing of anyone regardless of their race, religion or creed) where is his saying from all the quotes mentioned here from their holiest books? Is it possible that he is ignorant or pretend to be ignorant that this is mentioned in their holiest books? Or is he turning the blind eye to it and comes to lecture us in our religion? Let him lecture himself and his people as they are more deserving!

     

    It is also mentioned in the book of Joshua: (21-25/6) that after the fall of Jericho into the hands of the children of Israel they killed everyone in the city, from men to women to children and elderly. And even the cows and the sheep’s and donkeys got killed by the sword, except for Rahab the fornicator and her tribe- as we will mention- and they burned the city and everything in it with fire.

     

    It was mentioned in the book of judges: (10/21) they said: Go forth and kill the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilad by the sword and also kill the women and children.

     

    In the first book of Samuel: (2/15) they claimed that the lord ordered Samuel to kill the people of the giants (that’s how they mentioned the incident), kill every man and woman, a child or an infant and cows and sheep’s and camels and donkeys.

     

    In the book of Ezekiel under the title of (killing the idol worshippers) (4-8/9): the lord ordered that a sign be made on every person that denies the abominations that was done in Jerusalem, and then he ordered the killing of the rest of the people this way: (kill, and do not let your eyes pity and don’t pardon the elderly or the young or the virgin or the child and the women, kill until destruction.)

     

    We repeat, is the questioner ignorant of all this? Or is he pretending to be ignorant of it to come here and give us lectures about hatred? We will remind him of what was mentioned in the book of Isaiah (15-17/1): that the lord says to them: (your hands are filled with blood, wash and purify and remove your evil actions from my sight, and stop committing evil actions.) no doubt that they filled with blood but then they come to us in the cloaks of preacher!

     

    Haven’t you heard about the laws of foreigners in your holy books (the jawim: which is a word in Hebrew that the Jews use on non Jews and it means: infidels or impurities and pagans) so o questioner it is not appropriate for you to come and lecture people about hatred and talk about it while you are ignorant about these matters, and here is some for you:

     

    In the book of Isaiah (5-6/71): (the foreigners should take care of your sheep and the strangers should be your plowmen, but as for you, you are called the priests of the lord and his servants, you eat the wealth of the nations and you plot for their glory.) yes you eat the wealth of the nations and you take sway of their glory.

     

    And therefore in the book of Deuteronomy (20/23): (To the foreigners you can lend with usury but to your brother you don’t lend with usury).

     

    And in the book of Leviticus (42/25): the Jew is not sold like the slave, and in (44/25): as for your male and female slaves…you can take your slaves from the nations around you.

     

    Perjury is something dispraised on someone close (or related), and stealing a free person and to enslave him as well, but its legal on the foreigner in these matters and others as well.

     

    So where are u o questioner from this grudge and hatred in your holiest books? Why did you turn your blind eye on that but you came to lecture us about hatred?

     

    This section is long in their books if we wanted to follow it up, and I advise the questioner if he wants more details about this matter to go back to our book “If your house is made of glass do not throw rocks at people” and it’s a book and contemplation about the books of the old testament and a comparison of its distorted stories and between the stories and narrations of the holy Quran.

     

    In the book we mention some of our reasons to our hatred towards the Jews and the Christians and their void religion, whether its because they curse Allah swt in their holiest books by claiming that he has a son and by describing him with the attributes of deficiency and being hideous and inferior and everything that the noble people is far from, and likewise slandering his prophets and describing them with vice attributes and accusing them of obscene and vulgar actions in their holiest books of the Jews and the Christians.

     

    So this hatred that the questioner is asking about is a hatred that is legitimate and religious that we seek closeness to Allah with, as its neither from the religion nor from the justice and not even from the good manners or honor that you love those who curse the most beloved things to your heart and to curse the holiest things to you and to mock what you are most proud of.

     

    Do you love the enemies of the most loved (the prophet) and you claim * to love him, that is not possible

     

    Therefore what the questioner says: (Doesn’t the Quran teach you to protect the peace and to love people?)

     

    That needs a clarification and the summary is that the quran truly order us to protect the peace, but it ordered us to protect the peace that guarantee the rights of the weak, and the peace that guarantee the protection of the honor of the religion, a peace where there’s no disgrace or occupation of Muslim lands, a peace that respects our religion and our shareah and our prophet peace and blessings be upon him, a peace where there’s no giving in to lowliness and humility and to lie down under the desires of the enemies.

     

    As for loving all the people even those who defame our religion and curse our prophet and occupy our lands and fight our ummah, there’s no such love in the Quran, and it seems you have misunderstood the understanding of the Quran, or the ones who tried to teach you that have failed.

     

    Anyway, you can say while you are at ease in your mind and certain that you didn’t in fail in understanding the Quran if you said: that the quran ordered us to love what’s good and guidance for the entire people and therefore he sent our prophet a mercy to all mankind, as that expression is closer and it’s correct.

     

    Haven’t you heard o questioner about the aggressive attack that the haters are waging in your country against the quran and our Islamic laws and our noble prophet peace and blessings be upon him, through books that are being copied, articles that are being spread and movies and cartoons that are being filmed, by fools and lunatics that are angry and malicious, they are enraged by the honor of this religion and how its being spread in your lands, and what’s strange is that this aggressive attack is happening in your countries that claim to have freedom of beliefs, and the right of the person to choose his religion and that he is protected to perform his rituals? And they hold conferences of dialogue between the civilized and its brothers and to make them closer and other kind of nonsense that you disguise the ignorant and naïve with, and that you use to deceive the shallow and poor.

     

    But the truth that everyone who lives in your country sees, that this claimed freedom and the pretended respect, and the guaranteed rights of the religions is given to all the religions even the heathens like the Buddhism and Hinduism and others that you don’t find in it what you envy them for, but for the religion of Islam that you burned you teeth with outrage and that your envious of, you don’t give the religion or its laws and quran and its people the respect the you claim or the rights that you pretend. But it only gets furious and malicious and oppressive wars, and that’s because you were struck by its legions that destroyed your strongholds and by its flags waving in your lands and by your youth, as the blessed fair beards beautify the red faces with blue eyes, and many of your girls adorned themselves with the hijab with pride and even with the niqab (the face veil) that have invaded your streets and your schools in the time of the weakness of Islam economically and with no state and no power and despite what they went through from weakness and that they are scattered, it disproves your claims and your allegations that Islam was only spread by the sword.

     

    Europe with its wide freedom and its false civilization and its low culture doesn’t have room for and tolerate or accept a piece of cloth that the Muslim females put on their heads as an Islamic ritual and as an Islamic obligation that is a must in our religion, and nevertheless they forbade the Muslim females that adhere to that obligation from the schools and they were expelled from their institutions and universities because of it. And as if this piece of cloth has become one of the biggest dangers, that threats the security of Europe according to the brains of your fools. And I don’t doubt that it really shows a threat to the vile and those with no honor and the cuckold the brothers of pigs. Because it’s a sign of morality, and their low manners and their degraded freedom can’t stand some morality and therefore they fight this piece of cloth in your countries as if it’s a terrorist nuclear weapon that threats your security. This happens in a time where even the best among you don’t take notice of the nudeness that is widespread in your streets and the fornication and abortion and sexual deviation in all its ways that is protected by your laws.

     

    In Switzerland the land of freedom and no prejudice and no enmity as they claimed, the intelligent among them find it hard to breathe from the minarets, only the minarets of the mosques out of all minarets and buildings there!

     

    Shouldn’t the Muslim there ask why all this clear and obvious hatred and enmity towards our religion out of all religions?

     

    Isn’t it the right of every Muslim to ask why is it permissible for any female to walk naked in your streets without anyone opposing her, but restrictions is put on her when she wants to follow the commands of her religion and cover with her headscarf but then she’s expelled from every school and forbidden from any institutions and is punished for her virtuousness and purity? And your people have no patience with her and her headscarf, just like the people of Lot had no patience with his virtuousness and purity him and his family so they said:Drive them out of your town, these are indeed men who want to be pure” [al a'raf 82]

     

    We will not go to the Zionists and what they commit of crimes and racial discrimination and racial cleansing as that’s a matter that disturbs you and that you have no interest in and you put it as a condition to not open the subject without telling us the reasons! Except one reason that you did not explain but that we are in 2010! As if the Jews and the Zionists in this era are different than their ancestors, and for the our luck we write this and the whole world speaks about the crimes of the Jews against defenseless civilians on the top of a relief boat from turkey that was heading Gaza that’s under siege.

     

    But lets forget about that and their many countless crimes as you don’t wish to speak about that, so lets head towards Egypt and what your Christian Coptic’s are doing there against their own young fellowmen of young men and women when they announce their reversion to Islam by their own will and choice! Some of them gets imprisoned inside the cellars of the church and is tortured until death, some of them get threatened and some gets killed!

     

    Have you never questioned you and your likes that speak about hatred, why Europe haven’t given their likes asylum that they give to every failure whether male or female that flees from the Muslim countries, that cant obtain the European citizenship and the European honor and the euros and dollars except by defaming the laws of Islam?

     

    Aren’t these double measures in your countries in how they treat Islam and Muslims enough alone to cause hatred and abhorrence, without having to mention what you forbade us from mentioning the crimes of the Jews and the Zionists that you seem to sensitive and annoyed about mentioning their crimes.

     

    O questioner and visitor to our site:

     

    We welcome you to our site even if you aren’t from our religion so that you can get to know some of the aspects of the greatest religion known to mankind.

     

    And for you to get to know the crimes of you fellowmen and their hatred towards the truth, and purity and modesty and morality, and for to get to know the truth of your distorted religion.

    But we have one request from you if you seek the truth, and that is before you wander in it, that you have some equity. And that you take off your glasses that overcast darkness that are loaded with deformation and hatred that you were coated with by the media that fights our religion in your countries then maybe you can view the reality as it is, and delight your heart to the truth.

     

    And peace be on those who follow the truth.

    As you all may have read the news of the martyrdom of the two great leaders in iraq, the amir of the islamic state Abu omar al baghdadi and Abu Hamza al muhajir, may Allah accept them and raise their status in jannah.

    This is indeed a great loss for the muslim ummah, and something that saddens every true believer who has a concern for the muslim ummah. the only ones who would feel joy and celebrate the loss of these two great leaders is the hypocrites and the disbelievers..but by the will of Allaah their days will come where theyr gonna regret every action they took towards fighting the religion of Allaah.

    the heart is saddened and the eyes will weep but we only say what pleases Allaah subhanahu wa ta’ala, and this is indeed the path that Allaah have chosen for this ummah, and our leaders follow the footsteps of the prophet saws and the sahaba..and the martyrdom of our leaders only shows the truthfullness of their dawah and their jihaad..and bi ithnillaah their blood will be light for the mujahideen and fuel for the disbelievers..

    they think by killing the leaders that they have ended the jihaad, or that they have destroyed the islamic state in iraaq..but little do they know, that they kill one only to be replaced by another who will continue the strugle until Allaahs words becomes the highest, and until the shareah rules this earth..they killed abu mus’ab al zarqawi and after that Allah blessed the ummah with the islamic state, so inshallah their death will only be a glad tiding for the ummah for more blessings to come..

    may Allah accept their actions and unite us with them in jannah..ameen

    Is it possible for a rafidi (shia) to spill one drop of blood to free al aqsa mosque?

     

    Written by sheikh Abu Muhammad al Maqdesi

    Date: 10/02/2010

     

    For those who depend on the shia in freeing the aqsa mosque!

    And for those who allowed the husainiyat (shia temples) to open in Gaza, and placed crowns of flowers on the graves of the ayatollah of qom!

    And for those who know the banner of the hizb (party) of satan and applaud it!

    Ponder and reflect upon these realities…

     

    All praise is due to Allah and peace and blessings be upon His messenger

     

    To proceed:

     

    One of the biggest scholars of the shia in our time (Ja’far murtada al ‘amilee) have written a book called (where is the aqsa mosque?) and another book called (the saheeh of the seerah of the great prophet). He claimed in them that the real aqsa mosque that the prophet saws went to on the night journey (al israa’ wal mi’raaj) is in the heavens and not on earth, and that means that the aqsa mosque that the Muslims are waging jihad to free is nothing but a fake mosque that has no worth for the shia and something that shouldn’t have blood spilled for! And therefore the shia finds nothing wrong with the Jews demolishing it. 

     

    To avoid any ignorants saying that these are only some beliefs of this individual or the interpretation of this scholar that has nothing to do with the qom or his ayatollahs, and has nothing to do with Iran or their policies? We say:

     

    Firstly: the writer of these books that propagate the negligence of the mosque of al aqsa by saying that it’s in the heaven and not on earth, he received an honoring from the president najad himself and he was awarded with the best book in Iran, so ponder: the best book, and why?

     

    And it was mentioned in the best book (according to Iran and their president), that these ignorants have hope in and travel to their country that: “the aqsa mosque that happened in the night journey, and that Allah blessed around is in the heaven.” (The saheeh from the seerah of the great prophet) by al ‘amilee (3/106)

     

    And it was also mentioned in it “that when Umar (ibnul khattab) entered Jerusalem there were no mosque at all, and especially not even to be called al aqsa” (the saheeh from the seerah of the great prophet) (3/137) fifth edition 1427H. 2006 AC (the Islamic institute for studies)

     

    And in his book (where is the aqsa mosque?) he said:” it has become clear to us many facts regarding the aqsa mosque, and that has been determined that it is not the one in Palestine”!!

     

    Secondly: al ‘amilee did a great effort in adding the quotes of his scholars and the narrations of the shia that also indicates what he mentioned about the aqsa mosque being in the heaven. And that it isn’t that mosque in Jerusalem that the common Muslims know and yearn to free from the claws of the Jews! And that confirms that this belief is one of the foundations of the shia and they don’t see it as just an interpretation of one single scholar, or a deviation that is unaccepted.

     

    From the proofs they used to say that the aqsa mosque is in the heaven wat was mentioned in the book “bihaar al anwaar” by al majlisee. “it was narrated from Abu Abdullah alayhissalaam that he said: I asked him about the mosques that have superiority and he said: al haram and the mosque of the prophet saws. So I said: what about al aqsa mosque may I be sacrificed for you, he said that is in the heaven where the prophet saws was on the night journey. So I said: people say it’s in Jerusalem? So he said: the mosque in al kufa is better than it.”!! (bihaar al anwaar by al majlisee 90/22)  [1]

     

    So this is a green light from the shia and Iran to the Jews to continue their efforts to demolish the aqsa and build their alleged temple on its ruins.

     

    So which ignorant would after this depend on the shia, iran and hizb al shaytan (hizbullah) in their claims to free Palestine and Jerusalem that they are fooling the naïve and ignorant as long as the mosque that the prophet saws went to on the night journey and that Allah blessed around, is according to them in the heaven and not in Palestine or Jerusalem! And as long as the mosque in kufa, is better for them than the mosque in Jerusalem that they don’t acknowledge.  

     

    Thirdly: its well known that the shia give little priority to the 3 mosques that the prophet saws said you only can travel to, but they make traveling to graves of their scholars and to some places in karbala’ greater than traveling to the 3 mosques that the scholars of ahlu sunnah see as the only 3 mosques you can travel to, and there are some narrations of the shia that confirms that, and they are many:

     

    From Abu Abdullah that he said: (”whoever visits the grave of “al hussain”on the day of ‘arafah, Allah will write for him a million pilgrims with al qaa’im may Allah be pleased with him, and a million with the prophet saws and he has freed a thousand humans and the weight of a thousand horses in the cause of Allah, and Allah swt will call him my true servant who believed in my promises and the angels will say:so and so is a righteous believer and Allah has purified him from above his throne, and is called on earth as “karobiya”)[wasa'il al shi'a10/360]

     

    And their ayatollah Abdul Husayn says about this: “Allah has from his Mercy made the grave of the Husssain an alternative instead of the house of Allah in (makkah) to adhere to for those who cant make it to offer the pilgrimage, and the reward for it for some of the believers who obey by the laws of the visit is greater than the reward for offering the pilgrimage as it is mentioned by the narrations about this subject.” (al thawra al husainiyah p.51)

     

    And from Abu Abdullah that he said: “Allah starts by looking at the visitors of the Hussain peace be upon him on the evening of al ‘arafah before he looks at the people of the stand? He said yes. They said and how is that? He said: because with them are children of fornication, but with those are no children of fornication”(wasa’il al shi’a 10/361)

     

    May Allahs curse be upon the transgressors, the children of the prohibited mut’ah.

     

    And Al Ja’far al sadiq said:” the land under the ka’bah said who is like me when the house of Allah was build upon me, and the people come to me from every direction and I was made the sacred and safe place. So Allah revealed to it stop and reside,  what you have been given of grace from the grace of karbala’ is only like the needle who was inserted into the sea and what it got from the water, and was it not for the soil of karbala’ you wouldn’t have gotten any grace and if it wasn’t for who was in the soil of karbala’ I wouldn’t have made you or made the house that you were proud of so stop and reside and be like a humble sin, lowly and despised and don’t reject or be arrogant over the soil of karbala’ or I would sink you and throw you into the fire of hell.”(kamil al ziyarat page 270, and bihar al anwar by al majlisee 101/190 and its also mentioned in haqq al yaqin page 145)

     

    And it was mentioned in alwafi by al fayd al kashani in the section about the grace of kufa and its mosque in the second volume page 215: (”O people of kufa, Allah loved you like no one else by the grace of your serum from the house of Adam, Noah, Idrees and Ibrahim.. and days and nights will go by and the black stone will be poured here.”)

     

    And it was narrated by al kaleeni from Abu Abdullah that he said: “verily if the believer goes to the grave of al husain on the day of arafah and had a shower at the river of furat then went there, he will get by every step he takes the reward of a pilgrimage with all its rulings- and I heard he said: and like a conquest.”(furoo’ al kafi 4/580)

     

    And the authority of the shi’a Muhammad sadiq al sadr mentioned that the grave of Ali (ra) is better than the ka’bah, and therefore the shirk and pilgrimage they perform there is greater to them than offering the pilgrimage at the ka’bah, he said: there is a narration that shows that karbala’ is greater than the house of Allah (the ka’bah) and we know that Ali (ra) is better than hussain as it is mentioned in the narrations so his (ali) grave is better than his(hussain) and therefore it is better than the ka’bah aswel.” (al mas’alah (9) page 5 min kasarat al masa’il al deniyah wa ajwibatiha/second chapter)

     

    And it was mentioned in the book (minhaj al saliheen) by al kho’ee the bigger authority for the imams at his time: (it’s preferable to pray under the sight (in front of their graves) of the a’immah (ra), and he said: its better than praying in mosques and its mentioned that praying towards Ali (ra) is equal to 200.000 prayers.)

     

    And regarding praying in the mosque of the prophet (saws) al khoo’ee said in his book: “praying in the mosque of the prophet (saws) is equal to 10.000 prayers.”

     

    So praying in the mosque of the prophet (saws) is lower than the grave of Ali (ra) by 20 degrees.

     

    The imam of a mosque in the city of mashhad in iran their ayatollah (Ahmad ilm al huda), dared to say that the city of mashhad should be the qiblah of the Muslims instead of makkah. So during the Friday ceremony that was transferred by the Iranian press agency “faris”:” because the lands of hijaz have become a victim of wahabism, and Iraq is occupied by disbelievers and the extorters so the holy city of mashhad alone could be the center of the muslims.” And he added that the city of mashhad is visited by 800.000 from outside iran and 20 millions from inside iran during the year.” And he mentioned that mashhad is considered a spiritual and religious city even before the presence of imam ridha the eight imam of the shi’a, claiming that the prophet (saws) regarded it as a holy place and an institution for spreading Islamic knowledge.”

     

    So if this is what they feel towards the sacred house of Allah and the mosque of the prophet saws, then its no surprise how they feel towards the aqsa mosque that’s in Jerusalem.

     

    And that they announce that they don’t recognize the aqsa mosque in their printed and widespread books, and that their government gives prizes for, that way they give the green light to the Jews to continue demolishing it and building their temple.

     

    Forth: there’s still something the reader should know that the prophet saws said what was narrated by Muslim in his saheeh:” The Dajjal will be followed by 70000 Jews of Isfahan having on themselves Persian shawls.”

     

    And the tayalisa (mentioned in the hadith) is the plural of (taylasan) which is foreign made Arabic. And it is a garment that is worn on the shoulders and around the body, it is weaved and not cut or sowed and is worn by the jews of iran today. And asfahan or parts of it was called yahudiya before due to the Jews living there.

     

    Ibn Hajr said in fath al baree: Abu Na’eem said in the history of asbahan: yahudiya was the villages of asbahan and it was called yahudiya because it was specifed for the Jews. He said: and it remained like that until Ayoub bin ziyad the prince of Egypt at the time of al mahdi bin mansour made it Egyptian and let the Muslims live there and only a part of it remained for the Jews.”

     

    And the last information that makes you wonder and surprises you, we will mention that and end with this:

     

     Is what was mentioned by al kileeni the shi’i in his book al kafi from Abu Abdullah that he said: “when the individual that will arrive in charge of the family of Muhammad, he would judge between the people with the judgments of Dawud as.”

     

    So isn’t the judgment of Dawud like the judgment of Muhammad saws?

     

    And why would their awaited individual who will arrive by the rules of Dawud and not by the rules of Muhammad saws? A question we want the answer to from their ayatollah qom and their followers in Gaza and other places.

     

    It was narrated by al nu’mani the author of the book al gheibah:” if the imam says the athan he calls Allah by his Hebrew name!!”

    Strange: as yahwa is the Hebrew name that the jews use and is mentioned in their  holy book, so I wonder why their imam calls Allah by this name and not the name that the muslims use?

     

    The truth about these questions needs an answer, and those who are most appropriate to answer these questions is ayatollah qom and their followers everywhere.

     

    And for them to patch their answers for these questions.

     

    And our first question remains present: until when will some ignorants remain waiting for the shia to free the aqsa mosque! And travel to Teheran! And place flower crowns on the graves of ayatollah qom! And raise the banner of the part of satan? And throw themselves on the laps of the shia?

    Ginger has long been known as a very healthy food. It has anti-cancer properties and is recognised as healthy by both modern and ancient systems of medicine. Have a read to see why you should start eating more ginger.

    Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is native to Asia, and Arabian traders brought it to Ancient Rome about 2000 years ago. Chinese herbalists have used ginger since the 4th century BC for treating nausea, cold, coughs and a variety of other ailments.

    Ginger was introduced to the West Indies and Mexico by Spanish explorers where it now thrives. Ginger is used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine for treating inflammation and rheumatism.

    The largest producers of ginger are India, Indonesia, Jamaica, and Australia.

    There is a wide range of benefits of ginger such as nausea, digestive problems, circulation and arthritis.

    Nausea caused during pregnancy or by travelling is one of the benefits of ginger root. Ginger is also known to have the ability to calm an upset stomach and to promote the flow of bile. Stomach cramps can be eased and circulation can also be improved. Ginger supports a healthy cardiovascular system by making platelets less sticky which in turn reduces circulatory problems.

    Tips When Storing Ginger:

    Peel it & freeze it. I used to have to throw my fresh ginger out because it never stayed good long enough. Then, I stumbled upon this tip: Peel all of the ginger right when you get home. Wrap it in plastic and freeze until you are ready to use. Not only does it retain most of its freshness, but it is much easier to slice and grate when it is frozen.

    Five reasons why Allah uses problems

    by Shaykh Salih al-Fawzaan

     

    The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you - depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see how Allah wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.

    Here are five ways Allah wants to use the problems in your life:

    1. Allah uses problems to DIRECT you.
    Sometimes Allah must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? “Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways.”

    2. Allah uses problems to INSPECT you.
    People are like tea bags…if you want to know what’s inside them, just drop them into hot ever water! Has Allah tested your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about
    you? “When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience.”

    3. Allah uses problems to CORRECT you.
    Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It’s likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove…. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something… health, money, a relationship. .. by losing it. “It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws.”

    4. Allah uses problems to PROTECT you.
    A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem - but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management’s actions were eventually discovered. “You intended to harm me, but Allah intended it for good…

    5. Allah uses problems to PERFECT you.
    Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. Allah is far more interested in your character than your comfort. Your relationship to Allah and your character are the only two things you’re going to take with you into eternity. “We can rejoice when we run into problems…they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust Allah more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady.”

    Here’s the point:

    Allah is at work in your life - even when you do not recognize it or understand it.

    But it’s much easier and profitable when you cooperate with Him.

    “Success can be measured not only in achievements, but in lessons learned, lives touched and moments shared along the way”

    Allah Knows Best…

    After Fajr prayers, I decided to go to sleep for a while, because I was up all night working on some brothers cases. These brothers (here in bosnia ) are detained in the immigration centre. I went to bed, but I could not sleep, for some reason I did not feel peace in my heart.

    After half an hour of restlessness, I decided to get up. My children were surprised I was awake as I normally sleep longer on Mondays and Thursdays as I try and follow the sunnah for fasting on these days. I told them to go back to sleep, and I explained to them that I had to go to the immigration centre early so that I can get the brothers there to sign some legal documents. Soon I heard my mobile phone ring,

    It was very bad news. Amar Hanci’s deportation was going to be deported to Tunisia at 2pm this day. I felt the wind and colour drain from me, and words cannot really describe how despondent I felt at that moment. I had been so busy with his case and had sought a temporary injunction from the international court of law in Strasbourg with the aim of prohibiting his deportation. Everything we had asked in the Bosnian court of law had been refused.

    I realised I was not thinking rationally as I was so in shock that this brother would be deported. I begam to frantically make a list of organisations and NGOs that I could contact to help. I made a call to Strasboug, then London. I then got confirmation from Strasbourg that they expect the lawyer to act in an urgent procedure, but this was not enough for me. My heart was pounding so much knowing the suffering this brother will face that I could feel it through my whole body. The phone rang again.

    It was Amar, and he was extremely distressed, talking and crying in one breath. He said the authorities won’t wait until 2pm, and they want to take him to the airport earlier. He asked me to come immediately. I was panicked myself, making calls to every institution I could letting them know that deportation had begun.

    Amars wife was calling me crying and upset. I was scared to frighten her and cause her more distress, so I told her I am doing what I can with the help of Allah(Swt). When I got to the immigration centre, the gates were wide open with the van in the front yard. Even stranger was that I was asked to stay in the car fro 10 minutes. I have never been asked before to do this, as I am known to the authorities through my amnesty international work. I got out the car and asked to see the manager. I was afraid the authorities will take Amar in the van without giving me even the change to see him or stop them.

    From inside, I heard a sound so frightening and strange I was not aware it was even a human voice. My blood iced in my veins when I realised it was Amars voice painfully crying. I immediately demanded a meeting with the manager and they agreed. I was informed that brother Amar was in a bad state of health, doctors were around him giving him oxygen and medicines but nothing seemed to work, he was looking bad. I asked the manager to discuss this like a human being and forget our roles. I showed him the documentation I have, the reports, about brothers who have been deported and the torture they faced from the Tunisians when they went back.

    I told the manager what I did in the morning, and that positive imminent news would arrive from Strasbourg. The manager became sympathetic and made some phonecalls, with the government agreeing to stay the deportation until the following Monday. I expressed my thanks to the staff and the manager in the centre for how they helped, emphasising that had they not intervened all these late actions would be for nothing.

    After another long talk with the manager, he arranged for me to see Amar with the doctor and let him know the news. When I walked into where Amar was, his state of health and mental state shocked me, I had to hold onto the side of the bed to stop from fainting. Walahi I will never forget that scene and in my life I have already seen many terrible scenes. The brother was shaking uncontrollably, tears were streaming, his face was so white and his hands looked as if they were frozen. He begged to be killed rather than go back to the long torture that would await his return in Tunisia. He spent 3 days in a Tunisian prison before, and would rather be dead than have one more day of that torture. It took me a long time to get him to believe that the deportation is halted, and finally once he understood what I was sayng he began to cry even more. It was not normal crying, but crying the likes of which I have never heard before. I took an oath with Allah(swt) in front of him that I would do all I could to stop the deportation, and that inshallah he would not be deported. He began to calm down, and asked that I contact his wife and mother in law to let them know what is happening.

    I told him he should do this himself as it is better, and then in the meantime I will contact the organisations to pressurise the European court. Amars wife contacted me as she wished to see her husband but did not have the means. Whilst this was happening, I received notification from the court in Strasbourg that deportation has been stayed untl January 15, 2010 at 6pm. Allahu Akbar, how merciful Allah(swt) is! I was crying now, but tears of relief and joy, but my children were scared that the deportation had happened and they were tears of sadness. They realised it was good news when I went into Sadja as a way of thanking Allah(swt) and they became happy themselves.

    I then remembered to contact Amars wife and I arranged to drive her and her kids to see him. When I drove them back, they seemed happy and calm, but all I could see in my minds eye was Amars pain and desperation. I thank Allah(swt) on this day, where it ended well only because of His(swt) help. I fear for the next day that comes like this, and I ask you for your support and dua’ that these situations are resolved. These brothers need all of our help and dua’. We rely on Allah(swt), we trust in Him(swt) and we accept His(swt) decree, Ameen.

    Important Note

    This article has been translated from the story of Sister Nadja Dizdarevic. She works tirelessly for these brothers who have been abandoned and let down by those in the Western countries living in comfort and ease. She has spent her time, money and suffered greatly for this from the authorities, having been physically attacked on several occasions ( I will provide a personal appeal from her later on). If you wish to donate to this cause, please contact me and I will pass on the sisters details / donation information.

    Bismillah ar-rahman ar-raheem

     

    Assalamu aleykum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh

     

    I wanted to inform you that after almost 3 months after the arrest of my husband the sheikh abu Muhammad at-tahawi that was arrested as you know without any clear charges, his health condition has worsened to the point where he is taken to the al basher hospital where they used a tube to clear the incarceration of urine that he was affected with and that threatens him (la qaddarallaah) with kidney failure and permanent high blood pressure that wont go down even with medicine that we send him through the prison.

     

    The circumstances of the prison he is in (juwaida) are very harsh that even a strong and healthy person wont endure as the weather is very cold and the humidity is very high and the sun doesn’t enter the rooms, that’s what made his health condition worsen as he also suffers from acne all over his body which is very painful and he suffers from hard breathing constantly as he has allergy in the bronchioles.

     

    Therefore I cam to remind and wake in you your religion and what your religion encourages you to work hard and continuous to free my husband the sheikh abu Muhammad at-tahawi and to the institutions that have a specialty and to ask for him to be transferred from this prison as soon as possible and to give him better conditions while hes arrested and to give him treatment until he is freed bi ithnillaah.

     

    And to Allah is all affairs before and after

     

    The wife of the sheikh abu Muhammad at-tawahi

     

     4th muharram, 1431 hijri.
